In October 2023, it was announced at the New Global Sport Conference that the Gamers8 esports festival, organized by the Saudi Esports Federation, would be "upgraded" to the Esports World Cup, held during the summer of 2024. [5] In March 2024, it was announced that the PUBG Mobile mid-seasonal tournament, officially known as the PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC), would be included in the Esports World Cup games line-up, [6] with the official format revealed shortly after. [7]

The PUBG Mobile World Invitational (PMWI), which preceded the World Cup, was first held in 2021 under the Saudi Esports Federation's "Gamers Without Borders" initiative. Initially divided into East and West divisions, it was unified into a single global tournament from 2022 onward with the launch of Gamers8.

The PUBG Mobile World Cup 2025, part of the 2025 Esports World Cup, features 24 teams competing for a total prize pool of US$3,000,000. The tournament serves as the official mid-seasonal world tournament for PUBG Mobile and continues to be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. [1] [2] [3] [4]
